-Kate Monteleone, Regional Vice President, American Cancer Society, Illinois Division
Cathy is truly a top notch prospect researcher. She is highly professional, extremely thorough and timely in delivering her research information. I strongly recommend her. With the information she gave my organization, we were able to formulate a proposal to a prospective donor that helped us secure one of our largest donations in a decade.
-Heidi Waltner-Pepper, Vice President, Ter Molen, Watkins & Brandt
I first worked with Cathy as a colleague at IIT in the mid-90s. Cathy was leading the research department at IIT at the time and running one of the finest shops in the city at the time. Her work was detailed and the group under her were well-trained and excellent workers. I hired Cathy to do work for IIT in 2004 during a period when we were rebuilding our research program. She was outstanding and a great partner to me and to everyone in our office. I highly recommend Cathy and would hire her again.
-Greg Barrett, President, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation
I highly recommend Cathy. She has always provided the highest value research which has ultimately led to my organizations being able to maximize our grant returns.
